1. Prebook your photographer
Babies are usually photographed anywhere from 3-14 days. With that being said, it is best to book either during your pregnancy session or as soon as the baby is born. We are sensitive to Mamas recovery and we will work with you to schedule your baby. Ideally, it is best to call as soon as the baby is born or if it is a scheduled C Section, you can call ahead.
2. Save reference images
Start saving images that you like on your phone. Let us know which pictures in our portfolio you would like to replicate. The references will help us understand your style, the kind of images that you like to further understand your expectation.
3. Pre session day
Read over the preparation guide that we sent. Pack the diaper bag, extra bottles, pacifier, any special outfit or momentos.
Clothing for parents and siblings is best when it is nice and simple, and free of patterns or stripes. It is best to wear colors that will look great when the artwork is displayed in the home. Light or dark colors, work equally well. Little ones are best kept bare feet and dresses/tutus are available for little girls. For boys, simple jeans and solid shirts are recommended.
4. Session Day
NO STRESS! Session day is here. The more relaxed you are, the more the baby will be. Trust us and enjoy the moment. Your baby will never be this small again.
Newborn sessions generally take about 2-3 hours. We welcome toddlers, parents and grandparents in any session for no additional charge. The session can go over 3 or under the 2 hours, as we will not rush and allow for plenty of time.
5. Feed upon arrival
We have Mamas feed upon arrival at our studio or when we arrive at your place. So we can work with a content sleepy baby (hopefully).
